Even as a bigot soccer fan, I think this is excessive
Do they think they cause superpowers? Is there something about women covering more skin in sports that makes them unstoppable?
Who still watches 💩 CNN?
But why?! It’s pointless and panders to right wing fucknuts!
I wish that Christians got treated the same way. Their brand of made-up horse shit is no better.
Politicians need a framework for accountability. That can be the only true model for democracy
Introducing policies that are clearly discriminatory should be punitive
I love how only time you ever hear the French talking about standing up against “communitarianism” and supporting “religious symbol neutrality” is when when it involves talking about their Muslim and African diaspora citizens. This is only thinly veiled Islamophobia.
How about this. All the Muslim and African players on their pro men’s teams and national team should go on strike for a while to protest this. Let’s see how they do without a huge chunk of their star top tier players.
France has always made anti-Muslim moves like this. Hijabs are banned in schools too. They even banned the “birquni” from pools.
I wonder why they never banned nuns from these activities previously?
They should continue on to ban players with cross tattoos and then see how many players are left
How does noone understand what the hijab implies. Its oppression against women. Its a foothold. They have been brainwashed already to wear it in the name of god by men in their religion. The immigrants want to come to France. They leave their country because France is better but then the complain about the rules and laws of France. Its so hypocritical. Those laws are what make France a country that they want to migrate to. But then they come there and try to change it to make it look like home. At one point it will become like home alongside the same reasons why they fled their home country in the beginning.
Religion, corruption and a lack of law is the difference between 1st world western countries and the rest of the world.
The only way i can see it being an issue is akin to the 2010 Iranian women’s soccer team who tried to use men in hijab like Headwear to play. Though it was pretty obvious it’s about the only issue I could think of.
So it seems the argument is that there should
be ideologically neutral spaces in society, one of these spaces should be sports, the hijab promotes an ideology therefore it should not be worn in sports.
Laïcité
Cathy Freeman and Flo Jo wore full body suits at the Olympics, looked pretty similar to that football uniform. What difference does it make? It’s not dangerous like Jewellery or hair pins, the faces are identifiable, I don’t see how it would be performance enhancing….. if they aren’t trying to make other people wear it too who gives a shit, let them play. There’s a lot of people around our small town in Qld wearing hijabs etc and it wouldn’t bother me if they wore it playing at our club.

I honestly don’t blame France for wanting to stop far right religious conservatives from changing their secular, progressive culture into one where women are sexually oppressed. I don’t know if this is the right way to do it, but I certainly sympathize with the sentiment.
ITT Americans who know a lot about France
Have a fix. Start your own. Don’t like the fact there’s rules within the game? It’s irrelevant of religion and or beliefs. Just like the religion you may follow there’s rules in the sport.
Hey if these people wanna live like the handmaids tale that’s up to them. It’s definitely a religious and cultural oppression of women. But it’s their choice. Kind of weird for the state to enforce a dress code for wearing too many clothes.
I’d understand the “Keep France secular” argument a lot more if over half of their public holidays weren’t Catholic observances. But as it stands, it’s seems pretty hypocritical to demand secularism from some citizens while having the Christian religion so baked into your government that you get paid days off for those holidays.
Yes, it’s a Sign of oppression
Laïcité
Not freedom OF religion. But rather, freedom FROM religion. I’m a fan. And before anyone pops off, they crack down on Christians for displaying crosses and shit. They’re not picking on Muslims.
Yeah we all know the Muslim culture is taking over the Christian culture in Europe.
I mean, soccer does have a dress code so there is that angle. I’ve always been of the opinion that if you move to a different country with a different culture you shouldn’t have the expectation of that culture to bend over backwards to accommodate you, and clearly these woman didn’t find their uber religious home countries that great if they left them the first chance they got.
“We support indoctrination!”
It’s hard to draw a line between personal preference or coded preference. This goes for any norm in society – once we begin saying no to hijab, it begins to ask the question, why don’t we get rid of religious jewellery, skirts in tennis, skirts in golf etc – all of these are indoctrinated and grandfathered concepts that no longer fit within our society.
Remember: if we say, “you can wear a skirt but it’s not mandatory”, why not the same with hijab?
I’m not sure how I feel about this. On one hand I just think who cares what they wear. On the other hand, there are all sorts of laws that we don’t necessarily agree with but have to follow.
When you go anywhere, you have to respect/follow the local laws and customs. If you were to travel to the middle east, some countries have laws about public affection. We may not agree or like those laws but we still need to respect those laws.
They don’t even know their own religion. Hijabs weren’t shit until 1970s when Iran had that whole hostage thing
Great to see the French being proactive about protecting their way of life
The French hate Muslims
The Polish hate gays
All of Europe hates gypsies
And many other examples of hatred across the world
The rest of the world “Americans are racist”
People seem to forget or ignore French History. There was a time when the Church wielded power recklessly and so strict limits were put to keep religion in its pen. By the way look at the power of evangelicals in the US to get their way in things like prayer in schools, a woman’s right to choose, book banning and SCOTUS and you might come to the conclusion that the French are much better students of history than this country of infants with firearms.
Players with religious tattoos can’t compete now
Legitimate question since they are so against hijabs. Do they ban nuns from what they wear or is this specific to Muslim related clothing? I do not actually know the answer so a bit curious.
I always viewed this “issue” like I would if they tried banning nuns from wearing their cloths. It’s thier beliefs so let them follow it if they choose. I’ve heard some are forced to wear them though, so banning sounds like an even worse idea for those reasons.
Stupid law.
What a stupid world we live in. Women in islamic countries try to fight there right to NOT wear Hijab and to make there countries more civilized. And here women fight for the right to wear Hijab.
Vax mandates and Hijab bans. Something is backwards
Kind of funny that people will point to China and accuse them of “genociding” Muslims by taking away their identity and France gets a free pass.
Oh, but everybody’s pissed at Kyrie Irving for not getting the jab.
People saying this is ok because France is secular, did we already forget what happened when the Notre-Dame caught fire? People on the streets singing hymns as they caught sight of the building.
Secular my ass.
Rule 1 of life: DONT TELL WOMEN WHAT THEY CAN AND CANT WEAR; DONT MAKE THEM PUT CLOTHES ON, DONT MAKE THEM TAKE THEM OFF…
